In fact, Ling Zhi hopes that Song Yihong and Lin Fengyang will be together no less than Zhao Shiyan. However, in reality, many things are not always possible.
Ling Zhi thought about it for a moment and explained to Zhao Shiyan:
"If you think about it carefully, don't Brother Hong and Feng Yang have somewhat straight personalities?"
Zhao Shiyan looked thoughtful and nodded slowly:
"That's right. When Feng Yang was taking care of us in the hospital, she was quite serious. When I joked with her, she was very serious and didn't take my jokes very seriously."
"As for Brother Hong, he is even more of a straight man. Although he is good at leading a group, when it comes to matters like relationships, he is just a blockhead at first glance, just like you, Ling Zhi."
Good guy, we are talking about Brother Hong, why are you trying to stab me? I have obviously made great progress, right?
But Ling Zhi didn't bother arguing with Zhao Shiyan and responded immediately:
"Indeed, so in terms of personality, they are actually somewhat similar."
"Isn't there an old saying that goes well? Couples with complementary personalities may be able to go further. Although it is not absolute, in a sense, it still makes some sense. After all, with complementary personalities, each other can also provide a lot.
It feels fresh, otherwise, it would be easy for people to feel that they are falling in love with themselves."
"So although I agree with them trying to get along, I don't agree with us taking the initiative to advance this matter. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Shiyan suddenly realized:
"It makes sense, Ling Zhi, I didn't even think of it so much, but you are still thoughtful!"
Ling Zhi laughed at himself:
"To put it nicely, it's thoughtful, to put it harshly, it's cowardly. Haha."
After laughing at himself, Ling Zhi gradually fell into deep thought.
In fact, to be honest, most of the time during this trip to Pengcheng, he was very timid!
Whether it was a temporary decision to participate in the nine-ball doubles match or taking the initiative to have an ice hockey match with Gao Xiangyu, these were things that he would not have done before. And the reason why he finally chose to do it was because he did not want to be like before.
By going with the flow like that, he wanted to take some things into his own hands.
The consequences of trying to make changes are naturally both good and bad.
In the nine-ball doubles match, he and Chang Cuo made it out of the group stage together, taking the initiative to catch Chang Cuo's consecutive fouls. Not only did he achieve results that were relatively beyond his expectations, but he also fulfilled his own justice.
But during the ice hockey challenge, he was overconfident and defeated Gao Xiangyu. If Zhao Shiyan hadn't come to the rescue, he would have almost been injured.
Therefore, in many subsequent matters, whether it was participating in an immersive experience, confronting Lei Xin, or dealing with the relationship between Hong Ge and Feng Yang, he would do it in moderation and no longer deliberately express himself.
Although his new style of doing things is not sophisticated enough compared to the experienced Brother Hong, Ling Zhi believes that as he experiences more and more things in the future, he will handle them better and better.
Not long after, everyone returned to the vicinity of Huacheng University.
At this time, it happened to be time for dinner again. Ling Zhi, Zhao Shiyan and their roommates found a place to have a meal outside. Then they bid farewell to their roommates and prepared to send Li Mengyao back together.
On the way back, Zhao Shiyan made an agreement with Ling Zhi that he wanted Ling Zhi to work with her to help Mengyao resolve her knot. Ling Zhi naturally agreed happily. However, she didn't know if it was Ling Zhi's misunderstanding. When Feng parted, the eyes of the two people were full of envy.
...
After arriving at the place where Li Mengyao rented, Zhao Shiyan first chatted with Li Mengyao about the whole trip to Pengcheng, as the two had agreed in advance, with Ling Zhi interjecting from time to time.
I did meet a lot of interesting people during this trip to Pengcheng: nine-ball referee Ren Yushi, nine-ball national champion Shen Yixian, Shi Yan's father Zhao Zhiyu, and the lively and intellectual champion duo. Wang Bingjiao also There is Sun Han. Li Mengyao is also very happy to know them. This is all thanks to senior Shi Yan and Ling Zhi.
At the end of the chat, Ling Zhi added with a smile:
"Speaking of travel, you actually mentioned it the last time you came to the hospital to see us. You said you missed the azaleas blooming in the mountains behind your hometown. I'm actually quite curious."
"I grew up in the city and haven't traveled to many places. This time I went to the seaside thanks to Brother Hong. I really want to have the opportunity to see the azalea you mentioned!"
"Yes, yes, I want to see it too! Lingzhi and I usually live in the city and have never been to the mountains."
Okay, are you trying to shame yourself? But it's good. Self-defeating at this time can actually make Mengyao feel better.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Shiyan finished speaking, Li Mengyao couldn't help laughing and said:
"You are so pampered! Shi Yan, senior Ling Zhi, although you all grew up in the city, you have not slacked off because of this. In terms of hard work, you are definitely at the forefront of your peers."
"As for azalea, I...I..."
Seeing Li Mengyao hesitate to speak, Ling Zhi raised his hand and pressed it, smiling:
"Mengyao, I just mentioned it casually, don't worry about it. The main reason we came here today is to ask for your opinion."
"It's Chinese New Year this year, why don't you go to Shi Yan's place, if you don't mind it being a little cold in Qi City, her hometown."
"Ah! How...how can this be done? This is too annoying."
"Oh Mengyao! How long have we known each other, are you still so polite? Tell me, if you don't come back with us, where else can you go during the Chinese New Year this year?"
"me......"
Li Mengyao fell into silence.
Indeed, she spent the past two years alone. Although she occasionally thought of the people in her hometown, she still could not muster the courage to embark on the journey home.
What will happen if you go back? Will you be arranged to get married? How could your parents change their minds so easily?
Even if they don't urge the marriage, she doesn't want to go back. She is used to the life here and likes it. If she goes back, she can't guarantee that she can come back here again due to the coercion and inducement of her family.
After all, she was born a soft-hearted girl, and her only tough move was to escape from home and come to Huacheng.
Looking at the hesitant Li Mengyao, Ling Zhi comforted her again:
"You don't have to feel embarrassed. You can think about it slowly."
"But Mengyao, one thing is for sure, that is, we will never let you stay alone in the Flower City for the New Year."
"If you make up your mind to stay here, then we will also stay with you."
"Absolutely not!"
Li Mengyao blurted out, but immediately blushed and said:
"You...how can you...not go home to celebrate the New Year?"
When Zhao Shiyan heard this, she couldn't hold back her temper for a long time. She hurriedly advised:
"Meng Yao! What's not allowed? Either we stay with you, or you go home with us for the New Year. Today you have to choose one of the two, there is no third way!"
Looking at Li Mengyao with a dull look on his face, Ling Zhi pinched Zhao Shiyan angrily:
"Shi Yan! Why are you so fierce! Look, you scared Mengyao."
"Oh, I, I'm a little excited, I'm sorry, hug... Hey, Mengyao, don't cry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have hurt you, I apologize to you, I'm sorry...
....”
Before he finished speaking, Li Mengyao covered Zhao Shiyan's mouth and shook his head vigorously, but the tears showed no sign of stopping.
Zhao Shiyan looked at Li Mengyao quietly and did not try to take her hand off. Instead, he gently wiped her tears with his hand. The two of them were silent for a long time.
Ling Zhi sighed silently beside him, took out a piece of toilet paper and handed it to Li Mengyao.
Li Mengyao wiped away her tears and forced a smile on her face:
"I'm sorry, Shi Yan, I'm not angry with you, I just, I just couldn't hold it back."
"I just don't understand why you are so nice to me?"
Zhao Shiyan looked at Ling Zhi with a smile, and said to Li Mengyao:
"Where are there so many reasons? We are friends. Isn't it natural for us to be nice to you?"
In fact, whether it is natural or not, both of them have a strong point in their hearts. Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan also know exactly what kind of girl Li Mengyao is.
Whether she didn't want to involve Ling Zhao and Zhao Shiyan when they were entangled by the black jacket in the past, or she helped Zhao Shiyan out of trouble in Xingyu billiards, too many incidents have proven Li Mengyao's quality. She is gentle and kind,
A diligent and down-to-earth good girl.
With such a good girl, how could the two of them not like making friends with her?
Therefore, there are not so many things that are taken for granted in the world. What is there is just that your efforts are seen by others.
Looking at Zhao Shiyan's sincere eyes, Li Mengyao smiled. She thought for a while and finally nodded:
"I promise you, Shi Yan, I really...can I really go home with you to celebrate the New Year?"
"Of course! Yeah! That's great! Wouldn't it be over if you had such a good time, Mengyao!"
Zhao Shiyan hugged his friend excitedly, and Ling Zhi was also happy for Li Mengyao.
...
On the way back to school, the two of them were still chatting enthusiastically about Li Mengyao's performance just now.
"Haha! Lingzhi, today is such a happy day, isn't it?"
"right......"
Ling Zhi was about to agree, but suddenly, he had an unknown premonition.
More than 2 months ago, it seemed that Zhao Shiyan was on the same road as him and said the same thing, but she changed hands and was teased a lot.
Today is different from the past. Ling Zhi is no longer the same Ling Zhi as before. How could he still be manipulated by her at will?
Ling Zhi sneered in his heart and said:
"Right...? Today is a happy day for Mengyao, but for us."
With that said, Ling Zhi, with lightning speed, gently pinched Zhao Shiyan's waist and ran away:
"Today is my proud day, haha!"
"Good Lingzhi! Are you waiting for me here? I haven't settled the debt with you just now when I was at Mengyao's place? Don't run away! Let's see if I can't kill you!"
So, on a street soaked in night, passers-by could see a couple chasing each other. However, the boy seemed to have limited physical ability, and was soon overtaken by the girl. The two soon started fighting.
There was a quarrel, but no one stepped forward to break up the fight.
